Bottle feeding and sleeping all night

[krisskross]

Hi
DD is 11 months old, has stopped breastfeeding and is now on 3 meals and 3 bottles a day.

If she has her last bottle of the day at 7.45pm she wakes like clockwork at 2.30/2.45am. Shes not hungry though, she grizzles and will eventually cry and goes back to sleep after a cuddle.

But! if i give her the last bottle when shes asleep, at 10.30pm, she sleeps all night.

I would like to give her the last bottle much earlier and still have her sleep.

Can anyone help??

Both of my children were in a routine of having a bottle and then bed at 7.30 - 8pm ish and then I'd give them a 'sleep feed' (with half a bottle) at 10 - 10.30ish before I went to bed, they both then slept through.

When they got a bit older they naturally seemed to fall into a deeper sleep so I couldn't wake them for their feed, this is when I stopped giving it to them and they then still slept through with out.

I can't remember ages though and I think they both seemed to do it at their own pace.

I would gradually cut down on the 10.30pm bottle - either in number of oz or by watering it down.

How many oz doesn she have now at 10.30pm? Cut down by 1oz a week and see what happens!

Thanks for your advice- sorry think I was a bit unclear- its either 745 or 1030 pm for the bottle, she doesnt have one at both these times. But if she has it later she sleeps. Any thoughts?

If she only has the 10.30pm one, what time does she go to bed and when would the bottle before 10.30pm be?

Hi
she goes to bed about 745-8 and the bottle before hand would be at 330ish. She doesnt seem at all bothered if she doesnt have a bottle at 745- she goes to bed very happily.
